Chapter 222: Ask about the wind and snow if you don't decide on foreign affairs, and ask about the wind and snow if you don't decide about internal affairs
"Yes, exactly."
Zhu Biao said.
"In that case, let's talk about it."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of wine.
"Since ancient times, people have lived on food."
"Agricultural development is the foundation of everything."
"From ancient times to the present, as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties, there has never been a prosperous era built on the basis of commerce."
"Throughout the ages, only the affiliation of the former Song Dynasty was based on commerce."
"But the former Song Dynasty, who understands everything, is weak and can be bullied."
"How can I, Da Ming, emulate the former Song Dynasty?"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his wine glass and said.
"This..."
Zhu Biao was slightly silent, not knowing how to respond for a while.
Indeed, throughout the ages, only Song has prospered by commerce.
But Song...
understands that it is indeed prosperous by business, but the money earned in business was compensated to Liao Jinxia, which is really isolated.
"Dad's words are wrong."
"Song is indeed weak, but Song's weakness cannot deny its commercial success."
"In other words, if it weren't for the commercial success of the Song, the entire dynasty would have collapsed."
"It's true that Song can't do it, but that doesn't mean that the road to business can't work."
Xiao Han said.
"What kind of bastard is this?"
"With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly."
"Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall."
"Isn't the example of the former Song Dynasty there, not proving that it is not advisable to focus on a group like businessmen who only know interests?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked rhetorically.
"I don't think so."
"Song's failure lies in his external weakness."
"If my Ming Dynasty maintains a tough stance on the outside world, supplemented by commercial development, and obtains money and grain from foreign dynasties, can't it create a strong and prosperous world?"
"There has never been one before, can't we do it?"
Xiao Han ignored Xu Miaoyun and said as he pulled the corner of his clothes.
"Hmm..."
"There is indeed some truth, but the ideal is the ideal, the reality is the reality, don't we consider the reality of our Ming Dynasty?"
"Our Daming has just come out of the chaos in the world, how can we not do it with all our strength to bless agriculture?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Quite the opposite."
"Dad, I think it is precisely because of our Ming Dynasty that we have come out of the war, and it is more necessary to absorb the national strength of neighboring countries through commerce."
Xiao Han raised his head and said.
"You are the ruler of the world, Xiao Fengxue, we can't talk about you."
"But the strong men and the Tang Dynasty are all like this, isn't it worth learning from?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xiao Han.
"If you just want to reach the level of Han Tang, then you can just go like this."
"But our Daming, does it stop at the Han and Tang Dynasties?"
"The prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the wealth of the former Song Dynasty, and the breadth of the Mengyuan Dynasty, a better start?"
Xiao Han looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"But... It is good to absorb the power of all nations in this way. ”
"But once the national strength of all countries is weakened, won't it be easy for our Ming Dynasty to build in the air?"
"Agricultural production is fundamental, and food will not come out of thin air."
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while.
"Hahaha!"
"Why should they be weakened?"
"Of course, our Daming Dynasty sucks it, but just like Yue and Zhanguo, we absorb their national strength, and we are also helping them engage in agriculture."
"They have been planting, we have been sucking, so, endlessly, although it is not the land of our Ming, but it can also support the people of our Ming."
"So?"
"Isn't it good?"
"Or do you think it's too rude for us to continue to draw blood from other countries, if that's the case, we'll change it back immediately."
The corners of Xiao Han's mouth hooked.
"Rude?"
"Let's talk about trade ceremonies?"
"We, Zhu Yuanzhang, are a farmer, we can eat them, and we can grab their things."
"Fengxue, you are right, let's figure it out, using other people's land to support our people in the Ming Dynasty is indeed the unprecedented prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Zhu Yuanzhang finally nodded and suddenly realized.
"Shut up if you want to understand!"
"I said a long time ago, it's okay to do it in the wind and snow, you have to call it over for class."
"It's okay now, let Fengxue learn a lesson, I'll eat yours when I should eat!"
Queen Ma, who had been silent for a long time, snorted.
"Ahem!"
"Isn't this also afraid that Daming will take a detour?"
"I didn't expect Feng Xue, he thought a lot more than we took care of the overall situation."
"Sister, we were wrong, and we definitely won't be next time."
Zhu Yuanzhang coughed dryly.
Although he was a little embarrassed on face, he had to admit that he couldn't refute the truth given by Xiao Han.
If there is no problem, there is almost no problem at all.
The only problem is that it's too unfair to those peripheral effects.
However, does this matter to him Zhu Yuanzhang?
He Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he is not the king of those small countries, he doesn't care if those people don't have him, but he can directly occupy the land to the Ming Dynasty.
Messenger of justice, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't bother to do it at all.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Dad, what Fengxue said is also what the child thinks."
Zhu Biao finally spoke at this time.
"If you can think about this, then we have to wonder if you are our seed after all."
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes.
The old Zhu family has always failed economics, Zhu Biao is a few pounds and a few taels, doesn't Zhu Yuanzhang know it?
"Zhu! Heavy! Eight! ”
"What do you mean?"
"Are you talking about me again?"
"Otherwise, if you abolish me, I will never object to whoever you want to be the queen."
Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Zhu Biao didn't say anything, but Queen Ma was on fire.
What do you mean?
She was pregnant with the first favorite child born in October, you have to talk to me about this?
"Ahem, ahem!"
"Girl, don't be angry, let's just say that."
"We didn't say it wasn't."
"Biao'er's economic ability is in the same vein as ours, if it's not our species, whose species can it be?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had a dry cough, it was bad, his mouth was quick for a while, and he said something that shouldn't be said, and he was unlucky tonight.
Zhu Biao: ...
"Dad, you are indeed telling the truth, but isn't it too hurtful to talk like this?"
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang innocently.
Obviously, he has worked very hard, and he reads Ming economics every day, but he doesn't understand the limitations of his level.
"Hahaha!"
"Biao'er, don't be too bitter about yourself."
"Isn't there still a wind and snow in our Daming?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, we don't understand it very well, as long as Fengxue understands, you can listen to Fengxue's opinion more if you have something, even if we are not there, Daming will never have a problem."
"If you don't decide about foreign affairs, you can ask about the wind and snow, and if you don't decide about internal affairs, you can also ask about the wind and snow."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.
In his life, he made countless crucial choices, which affected the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty later.
However, the most important thing, Zhu Yuanzhang thinks, is that it was the night of the wind and snow that brought back Xiao Han.
Just this one thing made Zhu Yuanzhang, who didn't believe in the Mandate of Heaven, think that he was really destined for Destiny.
His old Zhu family does have obvious shortcomings, but the son we picked up back then made up for all this, and the current Ming is impeccable.
This is not destiny, what is it?
"Dad, you're right."
"So now in addition to criticizing and folding, I have almost always been in the British government, and I am afraid that I will not listen to a word of wind and snow."
Zhu Biao smiled.
"Uh... Actually, you don't have to. ”
"If you do make the wrong decision, I'll tell you."
"Although I don't go to the court now, I still know about the things in the court."
The corners of Xiao Han's mouth twitched, and he came to me to get the standard answer, right?
Really.
"Fengxue, tell me, if we follow what you said, gather the land of all countries, raise a country of the Ming Dynasty, gather the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the wealth of the former Song Dynasty, and the breadth of the Mengyuan Dynasty, how much stronger can it be than the strong Han and Tang Dynasty?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked at Xiao Han.
"How does this compare?"
"The production level of Hantang is far worse than ours."
"The two groups fought, and Tang was much stronger than Han."
Xiao Han rolled his eyes.
Later generations liked to compare each dynasty blindly, so that some people took advantage of the superiority and horizontally, and came to the conclusion that the later dynasty was the strongest.
"Compared to the population, the more people can be fed, the stronger the country."
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Oh."
"It's at least ten times stronger than that."
"There are tens of millions of people in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and our Daming can support at least hundreds of millions of people according to this trend."
Xiao Han said casually.
"Good, good!"
"Then we don't think it's enough to raise our Daming in captivity around now."
"You put that Wanguo Kanyu map in the private room on the top floor of the restaurant, and we've seen it."
"Look, can we take them all in?"
"This is the real dynasty of all nations!"
Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands.
"It's hard."
"At least if there is no technological breakthrough, our brothers will be choked when they are alive."
Xiao Han spread his hands and told the truth.
"Why?"
"Could it be that there is any empire in this that is stronger than our Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Not really."
"But Dad, don't blame me, you can't do anything other than economics, and you can't do geography either."
"You really don't understand this map, you don't look at how big our Daming is in it, Daming's ship will take decades to keep going around."
"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and people are not masochists, how can they be slaughtered all the time?"
Xiao Han pursed his lips.
"Wind and snow, I remember you didn't have that clipper..."
Zhu Biao said suddenly.
"I said it."
"I won't do that either, I'll take it out when I get it out, but I can't count that one right now."
Xiao Han rolled his eyes.
"Clippers?"
"What clippers?"
As soon as he heard Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became energetic.
It seems that there is still a door for this.
"No clippers!"
"At least not yet!"
Xiao Han held his forehead with one hand.
How do you read keywords here?
In this way, why don't you do foreign language listening, and do it without squeaking.
"Ahem, ahem!"
"Don't worry, don't you say this, don't you have it now?"
"Your Daming Institute of Technology works hard, if one generation doesn't work, there will be two generations, as long as it is possible to get it out, there is hope."
"Unlike Qin Shi Huang's elixir, all the way from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Tang and Song dynasties, countless emperors have invested in it, and they have all been wasted. What is the Meng Yuan? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang coughed dryly.
